Coral Reefs And Bleaching Phenomenon
Number of words: 1422 - Number of pages: 6.... covers over 2000 kilometers and is said to be visible from the moon (Goreau, 1987). While the size of coral reefs can be enormous, their real impact is on a much smaller scale. Reefs function as food and shelter for fish and marine invertebrates. While the coral itself is an animal, through a symbiotic relationship with the unicellular algae, coral becomes the primary producer in its ocean ecosystem (Richmond 1993). The reefs are formed by calcium carbonate deposits produced by the coral polyps. According to the legendary Cousteau, in his book The Ocean World, tube worms and mol .....

Global Warming A Serious Threa
Number of words: 881 - Number of pages: 4.... in turn harm human health" (ESP Health 1). The hot temperature, which could be the most direct effect of climate change, causes the heat problem. Because their cardiovascular system has to work harder to keep the body cool during hot weather. The temperature causes harmful effects to human health and another is cause of lung problem. "Higher air temperatures also increases the concentration of ozone at ground level". When this happens, the harmful ultraviolet radiation in the upper atmosphere reaches the earth's surface. The ESP states that "Ozone damages lung tissue, and causes partic .....

The Greenhouse Effect
Number of words: 305 - Number of pages: 2.... time getting out.
These rays get trapped inside the building, and continually heat the air inside,
and even through the night the rays stay in and heat the air. The greenhouse is
also called a "HOT HOUSE" because it gets so hot.
The greenhouse effect is caused by gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide, and nitrogen escaping into the atmosphere. These gases get trapped in
the ozone layer and do not let the suns rays escape very easily. This causes
the earth to warm up. This warming can cause droughts, and this would really
affect the farmers. This heating up will cause the pla .....

Lasers 3
Number of words: 809 - Number of pages: 3.... the number of photons that cause microwaves.
After the invention of the maser many scientists became interested in the idea of building an optical maser, which soon received the name laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). Townes paired with Arthur Schawlow, two Soviets, Nikolai Basov and Aleksander Prokhorov, as well as Gordon Gould were all interested in developing a light-amplifying device. All of them knew that there were three essential ingredients in making a laser; a florescent material that would emit light when stimulated by radiation from an external ene .....

Mexican Grey Wolf
Number of words: 1467 - Number of pages: 6.... several other studies found no structural or neurochemical atrophy in the brain at all. Furthermore, it should be noted that Heath's work was sharply criticized for avoiding safeguards of bias and reporting "changes" that occur normally in the mammalian brain. Wu et al. found a correlation between cannabis use and low sperm counts in human males. This is misleading because a decrease in sperm count has not been shown to have a negative effect on fertility and because the sperm count returns to normal after cannabis use has stopped.. Another claim made was that cannabis causes chromosome .....

Animal Testing
Number of words: 926 - Number of pages: 4.... brain hemorrhage. Other dogs, before death, became feverish and anemic, lost their appetites, and had hemorrhages. The experimenters compared their results to those experiments conducted at the University of Utah and the Argonne National Laboratory in which beagles were injected with Strontium 90. They concluded that the dose needed to produce “early death” in fifty percent of the sample group differed from test to test because the dogs injected with Strontium 90 retain more of the radioactive substance than dogs forced to inhale it. Also, at the University of Rochester School of Medi .....

The Nuclear Power Debate
Number of words: 779 - Number of pages: 3.... Effect, and has sparked action from the UN
Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change. Their consensus is a concern for the
environment in the next century if fossil fuels continue to be used, even at
present global levels. The Panel claims that for carbon dioxide to be
stabilised to safe levels, a 50-80% reduction in all emissions would be required.
The United Nations has predicted a world population growth from 5.5
billion to 8.5 billion by the year 2025, meaning demand for energy will increase.
Nuclear power is the only practical source, in consideration for the
environment, cost .....

Pheromones
Number of words: 481 - Number of pages: 2.... do not smell at all pleasant, whereas perfumes are either
synthesized or extracted from natural products and are employed because of their
pleasant smell.
Scientific research suggests that there are human pheromones for both
the male and the female. Females have a better developed sense of smell and
testing indicates that they are more responsive to male pheromones than the
reverse.
Research over the years has found that the male pheromones belong to a
class of compounds called steroids, in particular derivatives of androstenone,
which are secreted by perspiration glands on our bodie .....

Enuresis
Number of words: 1070 - Number of pages: 4.... and frustration because of the condition.
One important reminder to parents with children who suffer from this condition is
that bed-wetting should not be thought of as a behavioral problem. There is no medical
proof to show that children wet the bed to spite their parents. Also, most children will
outgrow bed-wetting eventually. As parents, the best way to help your child is to be
understanding and remember that punishing or making fun of a child who wets the bed
can only make the situation worse.
Though as of yet a cause is unknown, some doctors believe t .....

Creatine 3
Number of words: 2235 - Number of pages: 9.... of all time and famous actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, had to have an operation to repair an aortic valve in his heart. This scared a lot of people and the recreational uses of steroids decreased. With the dangers of steroids well-known people started looking for other substances to give them an edge. Bee pollen, carnitine and chromium picolinate, were among the things people tried. Of course none of these worked. But now there is a product on the market that has been proven to significantly enhance athletic performance in the areas of power, strength, and muscle mass. This substance is Cr .....
